Abstract

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is an emerging treatment option. Most studies showed local control of approximately 75% with no evidence of improved overall survival. Gastrointestinal toxicities could be significant, ranging up to 22% for acute toxicities≥grade 3+ and 44% for late toxicities≥grade 3+. Currently, no standardized guidelines for treatment and management scheme. We conducted a systemic review of published prospective and retrospective trials to evaluate the efficacy, safety, technical data, and discuss future directions.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Société française de radiothérapie oncologique (SFRO).
